Empress Dowager Cixi was the actual ruler in the late Qing Dynasty, so what she said was sometimes more useful than Emperor Guangxu. According to the historical records of the Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi took eunuchs and maids to the Summer Palace every summer, so the Summer Palace became another power center of the Qing court. The traffic was inconvenient at that time. It took Cixi two days to get out of the Palace from the Forbidden City to the Summer Palace, and she also passed through a village on the way, which is now Liulangzhuang in Haidian District.
Liulangzhuang is located next to the east wall of the Summer Palace, with a developed water system, so it was a place rich in aquatic plants at that time. Therefore, Liulangzhuang was famous for animal husbandry and aquaculture as early as the Ming Dynasty, so it was also called "Niulanzhuang" in the Ming Dynasty.
It can be seen that the history of Liulangzhuang is much longer than that of the Summer Palace, but only Empress Dowager Cixi has no good opinion of Liulangzhuang. Is it because the queen mother is hiding something? Actually, it's true, but Empress Dowager Cixi didn't make it clear, but everyone knows it. According to historical records, Cixi was born in 1835. If you check the calendar, you will find that this year is the Year of the Sheep, so Empress Dowager Cixi belongs to the sheep. Where can sheep sleep well when they meet wolves?
As a result, Empress Dowager Cixi went to the Summer Palace every year and had nightmares when she slept at night, so she ordered Liulang Village to be renamed Jixiang Village and drove away the wolves around her. However, Empress Dowager Cixi underestimated the history and culture of Liulangzhuang. As Liulangzhuang has a history of more than 65,438+0,000 years, it was named after the general (Yang) who fought against Liao in the Northern Song Dynasty. According to the local villagers' word of mouth, it was here that Yang Liulang recovered, and he also got rid of the local bullies for the villagers. Therefore, in order to commemorate Yang Liulang's achievements, people renamed the village Liulangzhuang.
Let's talk about "Cixi changed her name". Although the name of Liulangzhuang "disappeared" in the following period of time, the villagers still called it Liulangzhuang privately. As for the wise, it was forced by Empress Dowager Cixi. Later, after the death of Empress Dowager Cixi, Liulangzhuang was also called smart. The smart village changed by Empress Dowager Cixi was forgotten by the villagers, including everything related to Empress Dowager Cixi, and few people mentioned it.
It can be seen that Yang Liulang's position in Liulangzhuang is unshakable. Although Liulangzhuang has changed its appearance, the local history and cultural heritage have not changed.
The above is related to the perpetual Year of the Sheep, and it is about the sharing of Cixi. After reading the Year of the Sheep, I hope this will help everyone!
